Really love the part about critical feedback. We all need to be open to hearing feedback for growth.

I don't agree with the part about large tips. Isn't that creating a bubble?
The place where you regularly go, you're training them to give you great service, and not others? Doesn't everyone deserve great service? Shouldn't you frequent a restaurant that has great service for all and not just the rich elite that leave big tips?

Great episode. I've listened to it on more than one occasion which is a rarity with SOME podcasts so you're doing a great job "Rabbi can't lose". I'm a bit confused how you would begin the process of getting 'critical' , the type that Michael Jackson was missing ? It's not something you can just pick up at Walmart unfortunately.

Removing friction as a business:
Offer to client to remove friction of her life for free.
The only condition: pay a whole year of whatever they'd like friction to be removed in advance - ex.: a whole year of haircuts.
Get a good deal with the biz for the whole year buy.
Keep the difference as profit.
Spend a year remembering both the biz and your client.

thanks noah. love your tones, speed, and effects. i hope to see inclusion and balanced mix to enhance the richness of sensory experience of your listeners by adding bits of personalities that are talked of and about in your podcast or related to your topic and context. i would visualize making an opportunity for your guests to share their quotable thoughts and simply record using my phone. i think your audio is great and have confidence that you can figure out a way of making it work. at the same time i'm sharing this feedback, i realize that this is only the first and only episode i've listened to.

the "friction" is exactly what i thought of when self-driving vehicles were being developed. the stage in our evolution has many things that creates these frictions but are accepted and enforced by its consumers and regulations. we must consider ways of better addressing these problems as we learn to see beyond ourselves as available resources with interesting challenges to solve.

there's also great potential in ideating, suggesting and popularization of frictions that would help human being to experience transitions toward good change in terms of creating more cohesive society. seeing failure as opportunity for success, or driving as a daunting task, is an example.

we could wait for facebook feed to show us relevant articles, only when we learn to trust and share our thoughts and questions with input mining search engines like google with the default settings of our browsers today. this "friction" suggests, through my observation and thinking, that there is great room for improvement in bettering human understanding and communications, on mass scale.

we the world does not have a place other than google to share and ask questions that really shows the state of human evolution. google maybe effective but it is not direct nor personal. seeing how the world is becoming much more data enabled and capable, i think there's room for a brand that specializes in delivering personal responses to our private situations. a brand of bot perhaps?

goldmine of opportunity if we can have a brand that helps to lift those barriers and market to the people who are ready to speak for better tailored responses. i'm thinking human progress. real change.

it's the more complex equations that could use emphasis in helping humans to see and respond to long term existential consequences. accelerating the needed transition is a great and imperative work of our times.

on another note, how do you feel about indicating a time length, making it seem more apparent to be mindful of efficiency of your listeners and their scheduling in of your episode into their lives as they come across your new episode? kind of like what medium does but what works in your podcast world? perhaps a time stamp beside your list of episodes..

Good episode. Would have been nice to hear the actual conversation (even edited). Also, Coon's advice on feedback, though largely on point, contrasts a little with Ed Catmull's in the Creativity Inc. In their long meetings on films-in-progress, he says that one great thing they do when giving "notes" (filmspeak for feedback) is specifically to avoid proscribing solutions. They try to give objective reactions to the film, and let the filmmakers involved in any one project come up with solutions. Good feedback is tough; personally I try to avoid using the word "should" when giving it.

I have not heard the show long enough to have an opinion for improvement, for me it's more about the content, as long as it's legible that is enough for me. I can hear it, check, the info is great, check. I'm sure you'll improve organically.

I like the idea of removing friction, but in the realm of relationships I think it's difficult to apply. I mean , wasn't it kind of a dick move to have you change tables? How would that work with a significant other?
